Biden would be super stupid to ban TikTok before the elections and lose out on young voters.

I think I have again succumbed to reading too much news, especially about the elections and upping my anxiety levels assuming the worst will happen. I need to find that balance again and cut down on my news consumption via Apple News / Google News / X / BSky / Masto and kind of focus back on mental health again. Its not worth it and I must keep reminding myself that if Trump does win in November then the country absolutely deserves him, and I just need to keep an eye on backup plans if needed. Thats all.

Not sure why so much brouhaha over Lily Gladstone not winning the Oscar for killers. All she did was look sad and miserable for three and half hours on screen!

Raghavan tries really hard to make first half a sort of before sunrise but it doesn’t click at all.

Wow sick of this rain thats been nonstop hammering since morning. Like just go away please!

As I am getting older the allure of camping becomes lesser and lesser. Not that we camped a lot but it seemed fun in younger days now it just feels like a chore. I’d rather rent a cabin with amenities and focus on enjoying the vacay itself than figure out so much shit. I don’t get the lure of camping anymore. Yes getting older is what it’s called!

Unexpectedly on an accelerated timeline my job profile changes this Monday and I am now going to manage a team of people instead of being an individual contributor. We had been discussing this change for a while at work but it was not expected to be formalized at least till April and suddenly yesterday due to some events at work, it was accelerated and now I start Monday managing people. Which means this weekend I am ferociously completing manager trainings that I had a month or two to finish 😕🤨

I’ve been watcher of SOTU going back to Bush days and I can safely say that last night’s Biden’s SOTU was probably the best SOTU I’ve heard or seen. This speech is going down as a master class in writing and debate, and should probably be taught in schools. Biden was relentless and fearless. He baited his opposition so many times & they didnt even realize what complete fools they were ending up looking. He started with a banger (*You cant love your country only if you win*), wasn’t afraid to call out the SCOTUS right in their eye, and then ended by recapping on a very personal human level. Fuck your old guy takes, what Biden did last night was a masterclass in speaking. More of this please till November!

Biden has come out all aggressive tonight at SOTU and I am here for it! Thank you for calling out the crooked SCOTUS!

Help. I need an app where I can take daily notes about my conversations with team. Essentially like a daily log of all notes I take while I talk to them. Is there such an app? I have tried notes, obsidian, quiver, but none quite fit the bill. I basically want to come to it each day and every day new note with date starts so I have a history. Anything [@pratik](https://micro.blog/pratik) you’ve used thats been helpful?
